How to properly query the service pack version from the registry

[robotnik]

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this command?

reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CSDVersion"

Thanks in advance!

Use:

reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CSDVersion

Thank you!

No problem, /v queries for a specific key, and /s queries all subkeys and values.

That's a huge step in the right direction but does anyone know how to save the result of the reg query command to a variable? Ive tried using %1%, %1 and %%i in the following manner:

for /f "skip=4 tokens=3" %%? in ('HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CSDVersion') do set CSDVersion=%%?
set CSDVersion=%CSDVersion:~-3%

reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CSDVersion"
if %1% == "Service Pack 1" go to runupdates
if %1% == "Service Pack 2" go to end

On another note, I found this link that has what I need but I cant seem to get the syntax of the IF and GO TO statements correct: http://fixunix.com/ms-dos/271139-read-os-s...evel-batch.html
